The fact that the WMF didn't even attempt to
apply public pressure to the
FSF
suggests to me that you didn't do a very good
job of negotiating on
our behalf.
Under certain circumstances, that's exactly what we would have done,
but obviously such a strategy carries in it inherent risks that the
entire process will fail. Richard originally asked us for conditions
we could not accept; we negotiated to modify them, and the
aforementioned agreement represents a compromise.

Just out of curiosity, how does this apply to miscellaneous projects that
don't
fall under the normal "content" wikis (all the private wikis are GFDL, for
example).
Also, MW.org? The Help: namespace is licensed under PD, so the relicensing
can't touch that.
